Results: Summer 09 Round 9
Hi all
My email has been cactus the last four days, so I hope you are receiving this in a timely manner.
Crap can some of the divisions get any closer? We have only 5 rounds left and in some cases 7th place can still finish 2nd!
Div 1 sees the Stickmen (still undefeated), Hammerheads and Embalmers clear of four teams chasing 4th spot, with just two points separating 4th from 7th.
2nd Div is all over the shop, with the Scorpions squeezing out yet another 13-11 win. Seriously – do not bet against these guys in a tight match! The rest of the teams are separated by only 4 points, which once again makes div 2 the tightest of the five. (Thank god my team won tonight!)
Division Three has a bit of gap from 4th to 5th, but byes will come into play with this later in the season.
In division 4, the Jets suffered their first loss (sorry guys) but they are still looking good for a finals berth. The rest of div 4 sees 4th and last divided by 3 points.
Div 5 is probably the only one where the bottom four teams need to play catch up in the last five rounds. The Gremlins still remain undefeated and 2nd to 4th look strong.
All that being said, no team is mathematically out of contention. Yes I love that word but a strong finish to the season will see a number of teams upset the apple cart in a big way.
Quick reminder – the NRL season starts this weekend so anyone who wants to get involved with the ACTEBA tipping comp can still call Cath Jones on 0419 487 498. And don’t forget the (belated) Canberra Day Comp on 21st March (damn that ACT Government and their late calendar changes…) – $40 entry fee but the comp is separated into 2 “divisions” with equal prize money. Once again, call Cath to get involved – all proceeds go to this year’s Nationals.
An updated player list is available from the Docs and Forms page.
Good luck to all teams for next week – and keep the excellent results reporting up!

Results: Summer 09 Round 8
Hi all
Another late report from me, sorry I had the bye on Wednesday and wasn’t still up when all the results had come in.
A very tight round was played out this week, with 9 of the 17 matches resulting in 13-11 scorelines. Add a draw and three 14-10 matches and it was the tightest round of the season. The Gremlins and Deep Pockets didn’t seem to pay attention, though, both sealing 16-8 victories.
With the Pirates suffering their first defeat, we are now left with four undefeated teams, the Stickmen, Scorpions, Jets and Gremlins. The Scorpions have proven tough to take down in a tight match, with their seven matches providing three draws and four 13-11 wins. The other three, meanwhile are all shooting above 60%, as are the Hammerheads and Tomtones.
Competition for the finals is now starting to heat up, particularly in divisions one and two. Div One has 4 teams a point apart in the race for 4th spot, while only 7 points separates 1st from 7th in Div Two.
Well done to all winners this week, and good luck to all teams next round. The ladder now includes the bonus point for scoresheets and results for the February meeting. I will send out an updated ladder with the March bonus points over the weekend.

Results: Summer 09 Round 7
Hi all
My apologies for my tardiness the last two weeks. Back to normal this week hopefully.
We’ve hit the half way mark of the season and we still have 5 undefeated teams – one in each division. Well done to the Stickmen, Scorpions, Pirates, Jets and Gremlins. In addition, the Jets, Stickmen and Gremlins are shooting the highest percentages so far, with the Jets on 63.89, the Stickmen on 63.10 and the Gremlins on 62.50. Other teams shooting above 60% are the Hammerheads on 61.90, the Embalmers on 61.31 and the Tomtones on 60.42. Most of us would be happy with just 1 or 2 of our players shooting that, let alone the whole team!
Mathematically every team is still in it, but some need to really pick up their game to make the finals, while the half way leaders need to consolidate their good first half.
Don’t forget that Ladies Trials Nominations are due next Monday as well as registration fees and Presentation Night fees. Continue reading
